This Morning We Talk About Our Wild Nights With Emily

Today we are talking about the 2018 Madeleine Olnek film starring Molly Shannon, Susan Ziegler, Amy Seimentz and Brett Gelman. This award winning film is a “dramatization of the little known side of writer Emily Dickinson’s life in particular, her relationship with her sister-in-law, Susan.” (Source: IMDB.com) In an attempt to get her poetry published an acquaintance to Emily erased Susan’s name. More recently using modern technology has been utilized to discover the erasers, this truth has come to light. Listen in as we explore this film and it’s implications. Some of our favorite parts of this movie are: The similarities to Drunk History Breaking the fourth wall The costumes (hoop skirts), sets and props The truth about Emily Dickinson So many smoochies The two-shots of young Emily and Susan walking Special thanks to our editor Geoff Vrijmoet for this episode and Melissa Villagrana for helping out with our social media posts.
